i have been DROOLING over beach cruisers for a long time now. i check out craigslist several times a week.....stop in bike shops.....oh....i've found ever so many that i wanted....but the price....well....right now....they were just beyond my little county check! but today....i had to pick up something in our local walmart and what did i spy???? OMG! it was love at first sight....and my new "vintage" bike was about one fourth the cost of the ones i've been pricing. well...let me tell ya....that plastic jumped right out of my pocket book. we'd found each other at last! the colors don't show well in cyberspace but it's mint green (the color of the vintage t-birds)... with cream fenders and chocolate grips and seat......LOVE! LOVE! LOVE!

now i'm dreaming of a big funky basket... and a bell......LOL. i never had a bike as a child....how sad is that? well...i got one for christmas once and someone stole it before the new wore off....and i never got another until i was an adult. this is a part of my 'looooooooong range' retirement plan...to go along with my 'sometime in the future' vintage travel trailer. oooooohyeahhhhhh.....color me ...HAPPY!

how cute is this aviary? it's made from recycled windows and has casters so it can be rolled around....

this was the creation of one of the many talented crafters employed by martha. i borrowed the picture for this post. head on over to marthastewarts website and get the directions for your own little bird palace.

i've got an antique armoire.... where my television currently resides.... that i've been thinking of making into an aviary.... hearing the chit chat of birds in the home....one of lifes simple pleasures.....

My Tarot Card Is The Hermit

You are The Hermit

The Hermit points to all things hidden, such as knowledge and inspiration,hidden enemies. The illumination is from within, and retirement from participation in current events.

The Hermit is a card of introspection, analysis and, well, virginity. You do not desire to socialize; the card indicates, instead, a desire for peace and solitude. You prefer to take the time to think, organize, ruminate, take stock. There may be feelings of frustration and discontent but these feelings eventually lead to enlightenment, illumination, clarity.

The Hermit represents a wise, inspirational person, friend, teacher, therapist. This a person who can shine a light on things that were previously mysterious and confusing.
